HAY GUYS

I only have one general dream that most likely will not be realized this generation. Considering that I mainly buy jRPGs I would like most of them to be available on a single platform much like how most RPGs in the past were available only on the SNES, PS1 or PS2. At this point I don't care which platform this happens to be as long as at least one of them has them.

This mostly has to do with the success of the genre. By focusing the fanbase to a single platform RPGs, especially the more niche types from NIS, Atlus, etc. will see a higher overall success. Having a focused fanbase also increases the likelyhood of jRPGs actually being localized outside of Japan.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What I wanted out of this console generation has already been realized, to a certain degree, which was a sophisticated online multiplayer experience. For the most part, 360 provides that. I would like to see a few more RPGs, maybe even ones that move forward, rather than sticking to tried and true {and stale} formulas. I would like to have some enjoyable, well put together multiplayer in a wide open environment {GTA IV maybe?}. And I would like, keep in mind that this is purely wishful thinking, for games to provide subliminal messages within the game that aims to, and succeeds at, reducing the amount of idiocy that the average gamer spouts forth from his mouth and/or fingers.

Clearly the workings of the industry escapes you.

I also already own a PS3 and Xbox 360 so the idea that I only want to buy one console is out the window.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm also hoping for a Pikmin 3 for Wii, that would be ace.

PSP sales were up over 50% last quarter with sales continuing to increase and about 30 million have been sold. While not near the success of the DS (I don't think anything can be comparable at this point) I'd hardly consider the PSP anywhere near failure. It's actually vastly improving over time along with its game library.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
